Returning to the tunnel shown in the present photograph: some railings are visible on its far side; a burn flows under the cycle path at that point, as shown in NS4473 : The Auchentorlie Burn, where the same railings are visible. For a path that leads over the top of the tunnel, see NS4473 : Right of way at Bowling.
